This blog is mainly about the spectacular train wreck at The Sacramento Bee and its parent company, the McClatchy Company. But I also post about current events, the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, politics, anything else that grabs my attention. Take a look around this blog, hope you enjoy it.

Poll: people in Miami are "not community minded"

A Gallup survey funded by the Knight Foundation found people who live in Miami lack community loyalty..Apparently Gallup surveyed people in 26 cities where Knight Ridder formerly had newspapers to find out how loyal they are to their community. Details here..Since Knight Ridder doesn't exist anymore, I don't see the point. Am I missing something?.

Foundations are basically great big money laundering and capital generating machines with tax free benefits. Most fall under the 501(C)3 category where they can make a pittance available under the guise of grants, while protecting the administrators from the liabilities and burdens of private individuals and businesses in the form of taxes.

They're a big part of the, "Non Profit" scam in America, while the truth is they are making a killing off of things like donations, and "low cost" loans. They are also a great way for foreign entities to influence governmental policies, elections, and in the latest case, fund enemy combatants while serving to cover the money trail for numerous illicit operations.
